Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 HI all. I've just started using emby and have managed to get Emby for Kodi Next Gen running nicely for the most part. The only hangup I've had is that the library in kodi is not automatically syncing new content added to emby. A manual sync through the addon settings or on Kodi startup works fine. I was just wondering if there was functionality similar to the watchdog Kodi addon that would update the library when a new episode/movie was added. Im using Kodi 20.3, Emby for kodi Next Gen 8.2.14, and kodi companion 2.2.1.0 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have troubles with that, I need a kodi.log for review after you added content. Also I need info in which state (online/offlline) Kodi was, when you expected the sync and a test scenario.

Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 thanks here is the kodi.log. I had Sonarr grab Belgravia S01E02, which completed at 19:36. I then ran a scan media library from scheduled tasks on the emby webclient and the episode appeared in the emby library. the episode hasn't appeared in the kodi library yet, if i were to restart kodi or run a manual refresh from the addon settings it would appear. no sure waht you mean by online/offline state. kodi.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Offline/Online I meant, was Kodi turned off, but I see in your log that Kodi was online. So we are talking about online (realtime updates). I see in you log, Emby server reported a new show: 2024-01-21 19:57:01.599 T:8800 info <general>: EMBY.core.tvshows: ADD tvshow [3408 / 72] 31808: Belgravia: The Next Chapter But I no reports about a new Episode. Was the scan completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 yes the emby scan completed without issue. I can run another through sceduled tasks and submit a new kodi.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 ok, thanks, Maybe it has something todo with you Folder structure you scanned into Emby. Was the episode a recorded episode (Emby LiveTV recoding)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 episode was not a live tv recording. it is not specific to this file only i'm just using it as a test case folder structure is (/volume1/data/media/tv/Belgravia - The Next Chapter/Season 1/S01E02 - Episode 2.mkv) General is (/volume1/data/media/tv/{Series Title}/Season {season}/S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title}) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Ok, all good. I use the same structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 new kodi.log I ran a scan through emby at 21:02 it only took a few seconds to complete kodi.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Which Emby server version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 4.7.14.0 running on a synology NAS from the Package center 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Ok, I'll perform some testing. Currently I don't know why the episode is not synced. I come back to you, testing will take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Mate you're a legend. Thanks for taking the time to have a look at this i really appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) I performed another test, still cannot find the issue. The last log you uploaded showed, no updates, but maybe you need to wait a bit longer. You stopped Kodi at 21:03:36 and Emby server stopped scanning on "21:02:56". Sometimes (even on high end hardware) Emby server is not that fast sending library updates. On my Dell server hardware it took 40 seconds. Wait at least 2 or 3 Minutes, I continue testing...

Kylev2142 6 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Oh i havent stopped kodi it is alwasy running thats just when i grabed the log file, here is the new one. with hours of updates but still no new episodes kodi.log 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Ok, thanks. I still cannot see any issues on Kodi/plugin side beside Emby server just doesn't report the updated episode (and season) Id. Please turn on debug mode an Emby server and upload a the Embyserver.log. Maybe there is something wrong on server side. I'm running out of options to test.

Kylev2142 6 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 do I need to get something new to import after logging is turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Maybe trigger a scan on Emby server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Here you go, I ran the scan at 18:43 embyserver(1).txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Also emby server log looks ok to me. Are all episodes affected by this issue? @LukeAny idea why Emby server doesn't report (via Websocket) new episodes. All my tests worked flawless on my setup. Same plugin version, same Emby server. Same folder structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Might just be tv shows I've downloaded Napoleon(2023) radarr Imported it at 21:25. I then ran a scan throught Emby at 21:28 that took around 4min. The movie was then visible in the emby library. I waited 10 min then it was in the Kodi library working perfectly. then downloaded True Detective S04E02, sonarr Imported it at 22:02. I then ran a scan throught Emby at 22:02 that took around 30 sec. The movie was then visible in the emby library. I waited 10 min still not in the Kodi library I then grabbed the Kodi.log and embyserver.txt embyserver.txt kodi.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Only odd I can see is: 2024-01-22 22:03:09.297 Info App: Removing item from database, Type: Episode, Name: Part 2, Path: , Id: 31854 I'm no familiar with sonarr, but you might perform an simple test. Copy a file into a show/season folder, scan and check the results. As mentioned, it works flawless therefore there must be something "special" in the way you insert episodes. Probably you replace an existing file or the imports working differently. Currently I really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylev2142 6 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 so I did a library update on kodi to make True Detective S04E02 show up. I then downloaded True Detective S04E01 without Sonarr and just coppied it to True Detective/Season 4 and ran a scan with emby the episode shows up in the emby library just as expected but its still not in the kodi library kodi.log embyserver(1).txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1347 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Ok, let's wait for @Luke I performed countless tests and it's not a plugin issue, I can guarantee you that. Emby server does not report the episode for some reason. Edited January 22 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
